Battlefield 5 Firestorm Reveal Trailer Coming Tomorrow, Watch It Here
Battlefield V‘s third chapter of content, Trial by Fire, kicks off later this month, and one of the most anticipated features it’ll bring to the game is Firestorm, Battlefield V’s take on battle royale. Developer DICE hasn’t yet announced when Firestorm will go live, but we’ll get our first real look at the mode very soon.
DICE is broadcasting Firestorm’s reveal trailer tomorrow, March 14. We don’t yet know how long the video will be or what it will showcase, but it’s scheduled to go live at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. You’ll be able to tune in right here on GameSpot and watch the trailer via the embed below.
While tomorrow’s trailer will provide our first official look at Firestorm, fans got an early look at the mode recently when Firestorm’s tutorial video recently leaked online. According to that video, the mode will support Solo, Duo, and Squads options, and just as in other battle royale games, each match will begin with players parachuting out of a plane, then scrambling to find weapons and other items to help them survive.
EA has previously said that Firestorm will support up to 64 players. Unlike the rest of the game, the mode isn’t developed by DICE, but rather Criterion, the studio behind the Need for Speed series. The mode derives its name from the ring of fire that gradually closes in on the battlefield as matches progress.
In the meantime, the final event of Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes, dubbed Unstoppable Force, is now live. Along with two Weekly Challenges, the event brings back the fan-favorite Rush mode, but it’ll only be around until March 20.
Everyone Is Freaking Out About an Unfounded Rumor of Sony Acquiring Take-Two
A rumor making waves across the internet suggested Sony is in “advanced board level discussions” to take over Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive, though there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of this rumor — especially because it comes from unconfirmed market chatter.
Initially reported by MarketWatch in a stock market overview pertaining to Bowing and Brexit, a small note about Take-Two Interactive popped up. MarketWatch has since revised the article, but the full pertinent section previously read:
12 Best True Crime Shows On Netflix, Ranked
While true crime books have been hugely popular for a long time, it’s really only in the last few years that the genre has become one of the most addictive things to watch on TV. In general, fans of procedural crime and murder case investigation had to make to do with fictional shows such as CSI, or feature-length movie documentaries liked those pioneered by Errol Morris. But the huge success of the Netflix production Making a Murderer in 2016 bridged both worlds. By taking the episodic format of procedural shows and applying it to a fascinating real-life murder case and trial, it created one of the year’s must-see series.
Its popularity inevitably led to a flood of true crime shows on Netflix. It would be a mistake to suggest that the streaming giant invented the true crime series–it obviously didn’t, and some of its best offerings pre-date both Making a Murderer and the service itself. But there’s little doubt that Netflix has become the go-to destination for true crime TV fans, with a wealth of gripping, disturbing, fascinating, and unusual shows hitting over the past couple of years.
While the majority of these shows unsurprisingly focus on violent crime, there’s a variety in the way they approach their subject matter. Some series document investigations and court cases in real time, while others take a more retrospective approach, using the passage of time to explore both the cases and their effects on those involved. There are shows that use a single crime as a springboard to examine a range of issues, and series that reveal some the darkest and weirdest extremes of human behavior. With so much on there, it’s hard to know to where to start, so we’ve chosen 12 of the very best true crime shows currently available on Netflix. Let’s investigate…
The Bizarre History of Crackdown 3
On June 9th, 2014, almost four years to the day after Crackdown 2 was released, Microsoft revealed the third game in the Crackdown series was coming to the company’s brand-new console, the Xbox One.
It would be a cooperative, open-world game, touted as a new iteration of the action series, featuring a whole new campaign, and using Xbox Live to power a city. And that city… it wouldn’t just be an exciting place to play, but part of your destructive arsenal.
In this new Crackdown reveal trailer, explosions rocked the neon-soaked future city, setting off a chain of bombastic impacts as each inferno-engulfed building collapsed into the next. But the next several years of what would become Crackdown 3 were just the opposite…
Booksmart Review
This is a spoiler-free advanced review of Booksmart from its premiere at SXSW. It opens in theaters on May 24, 2019.
Olivia Wilde makes her directorial debut with Booksmart, a whip-smart coming-of-age comedy for every girl who’s ever been called a “try-hard.” Following the film’s world premiere at SXSW, the actress-turned-director took to the stage before a packed house and confessed her ambition was to make a teen comedy on the level of a John Hughes classic. Like the overachievers at the heart of this ferociously funny film, she dreamed big, worked hard, and succeeded with flying colors. Wilde has made a coming-of-age comedy that’s sure to be a modern classic.
On the last day of senior year, best friends Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) are on top of the world. They scored valedictorian and salutatorian respectively and got accepted to their dream schools. Now all that’s left is graduation…and one more day with the hyperactive lunkheads they call classmates. But things take a turn when Molly discovers her peers’ hard-partying lifestyles didn’t prevent them from getting into prestigious universities. Outraged and stung with regret, Molly pushes Amy into making the most of their last night as seniors. Gearing up with lip balm, mace, and matching Rosie The Riveter-style jumpsuits, these good girls will hunt down the dopest house parties, dabble in club drugs, flirt with their secret crushes, and attempt a ludicrously ill-conceived hijacking using their hair as impromptu ski masks. It’ll be a wild night they’ll never forget, bringing not only hysterical shenanigans, but also a poignant story about a friendship at the precipice of a terrifying change.
A Promising New Era Begins for the Transformers Franchise
IDW’s decision to reboot the Transformers comic book franchise no doubt ruffled some feathers among the Transformers fan community. It’s a lot to ask readers who have been following one continuity for the past 13 years to suddenly pivot and embrace a completely new universe. On the other hand, books like the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer show how much there is to be gained by starting fresh with a new canvas, a new creative team and a new storytelling mentality. That’s the same spirit driving the new Transformers series. It’s a comic that aims to give readers a fresh start without simply retreading what’s been done in the past.
The new volume of Transformers doesn’t even necessarily have to be looked at as a reboot. Rather than again rehash the story of the Autobots’ arrival on Earth, this series flashes back to the heyday of Cybertron. As the series opens, future Optimus Prime Orion Pax and Megatron are just beginning to shift from close friends to bitter rivals, while a peaceful society is experiencing the first pangs of civil war. There’s no “robots in Disguise” here, just the story of a glorious civilization slowly spiraling into ruin. Suddenly, the story of shape-shifting robots feels more timely than ever…
